As I was watching Special Report With Bret Baier on FOX NEWS yesterday afternoon, I happened to see an interesting segment that had Baier reporting on the recent uproar Tea Party backed U.S. Senator from Texas Ted Cruz has engendered in his political Maverick style approach to the ‘business as usual Washington style politics’ D.C. is infamous for. I saw this story echoed again on Fox & Friends earlier this morning too. Apparently Cruz has ruffled some feathers & rattled some cages in his no holds barred approach to his job. So much so that he has even begun drawing comparisons from liberal media critics likening Cruz to Joe McCarthy & that age of McCarthyism of the early 1950’s.

Just a quick word to let you know that the D.C. Clothesline is moving to its own domain at www.dcclothesline.com

About 72 hours ago WordPress suspended us from posting new articles. It ended up being a mistake and they have apologized. There are no hard feelings at all, but we need to be able to be in control of our own site. Not being able to publish anything for almost 72 hours was very disheartening.

It will take some time to fully transition over to the new site. I would not be surprised if we publish one or two more articles over here, but the new site is running and we have started to put the newest articles there. I sincerely hope that our email subscribers will follow us over. It’s tough to know that we are losing a very large list of subscribers, but ultimately this is the best decision for everyone.

Instead of a discussion on freedom, this time I am just providing information. The links below are useful to Conservative and Liberal alike.

I have listed the 50 Commonwealths and States plus Washington, DC in alphabetical order. I will be calling all of these entities “States” in this article. Under each of these entities, you will find several links. Continue reading →

Lets face reality people. Lets face the ‘real‘ state of our Union! It’s staring us all straight in the face & has been for a long long time. I know too that millions of Americans out there understand the same truth! We see it every day. We live it every day. We NEED leadership restored to our nation! Continue reading →

Have you ever been around a highly skilled “manipulator?” You know how they work. They know exactly what to say to get exactly what they want from you. They can be incredibly sweet or incredibly mean, depending on the situation. Manipulators are smart. They normally get their way and you don’t always see it coming.

Today I am going to share one of my beliefs with you. I believe that Fred Phelps is a manipulator and a “false prophet” to his own people. I believe that his followers are genuine, but that he is not. I think he has an agenda that is much different from the one he talks about. Continue reading →

So, since Dean’s been sick, other writers have been apparently busy, and I’ve had tests and other personal things going on, I figure I might as well just ramble away at what’s been going through my head. It might not be perfect, but it’s something right?

First up, how about them Russians? Apparently they’ve upset someone so much that the transgressed would drop a meteor on them…I’m no astronomer, but as a life-long follower of sci-fi, this is kind’ve a big deal, with an asteroid passing close enough to look through your sweetheart’s bedroom window…at least, I think so. I mean, are we witnessing a reenactment of Armageddon? Should we get Bruce Willis on the line and tell him to get his team together? Or maybe Deep Impact would be a better fit, with a black president and all (though Obama is no Morgan Freeman). A friend of mine brought up an interesting point, since he works in customer service: Anything and everything is his fault. I’m sure he meant involving purchases and product difficulties, but I had to give him a good ribbing and blame the meteor strike on him. If you guys have any friends who feel that way, and have a good sense of humor, be sure to throw the blame around a little bit. If they give you a confused look, tell them you’re thinking of jumping on the liberal bandwagon and had to try it out. Continue reading →

Below is an article that first appeared in late December 2012. At that time I wasn’t tremendously concerned with how Russian bloggers viewed our changing form of government because I, for one, already knew about the drive toward Socialism in this country. Continue reading →
